Review: Samsung Strive

Photos

Given the 2 megapixel camera, I wasn't expecting much, and the Strive managed to stoop to my expectations. The images captured with the Strive will be more than adequate to fulfill any MMS cravings you might have, but you're not really going to want to post them to Facebook, let alone enlarge them or print them out.

Focus was soft, there was tons of grain, and the Strive had no ability to take pictures in shadowy environments. Color and white balance were well represented when taking outdoor shots, but inside they were a disaster. Muted colors and skewed white balance combined to wash the images out.
